League City, TX | iPhone is popular mainly because of the fad effect. There is plenty of phones that are out there that are better but people go for it because its more popular. Once a bigger fad comes out it will disappear.

Go use a Droid, then go use those other phones you mention. They are worlds apart. Hell, go look at any video review of the Droid vs the iPhone 3G. Here's a good one: »www.technobuffalo.com/blog/mobil···hone-3gs
The Droid is no more an iPhone killer than the iPhone is a Droid killer. They are different phones, offering different things. Want a controlled, compartmentalized user experience? The iPhone is for you. Want a more open, much more customizable experience? The Droid is for you. Other than that, they offer essentially the same features.
The Razr didn't sell as well as the iPhone for at least a year but went on to sell 50 million worldwide in a scant 2 years; a feat the iPhone has yet to match. So does that mean the iPhone isn't a Razr killer? Absolutely not. The real test of whether the Droid will be a success is not that it 'kills' the iPhone, but how it sells in comparison to it over time. Judging that based on less than a week of release is silly.

It's readily apparent you know absolutely nothing about the Droid and haven't even bothered to watch nor read anything about it. I'll be sure to make note of that going forward, especially with regard to opinions you provide on other topics.

1 edit | No, I've seen it, had it in my hands (saw it yesterday afternoon and messed with it for about 20 minutes) and am simply not wow'd by it as you apparently are. |

Does the iPhone fit all your needs, great, but don't get your knickers in a twist because it is not the best choice for me. Has the iPhone been successful for Apple? Certainly, but so too was the Razr for Motorola. There are industry analysts that predict Android phones will be outselling iPhones by 2012. Time will tell. I have a lot of things laying about that WERE great technology, HP rpn calculators (which I still use today), Palm OS devices, Sony Beta, etc. Technology moves very quickly, what was cutting edge yesterday being replace with something new today. |
